List of Ponies Safe (and Not Safe) to Sunfade

[duckez]

Does anyone know if the sea pony Sea Breeze would be fine? I haven’t tried doing it with one of this color

Hi guys, has anyone tried sunfading Streaky from the rainbow curls? My lovely lady has a little bit of green pen on her that id like to fade, but I'm hesitant because I feel like lavender ponies already tend to age really poorly and turn kind of brown and grey. I'd hate to burn her

I myself just picked up a Raincurl and her head is more yellowed than her body and I'd like to try to even her out some. Don't want to try liquid h2o2 because I really don't want to rehair her.
Granted the sun is so hot and bright where I'm at I might not need to use hair developer either

I am currently giving my sea pony sea breeze a try. So far it hasn’t been too bad. I removed her head. It has been overcast the last few days so I gave her under a UV lamp.

Thanks for this
I think I’ll try doing mine & just check it often

Good luck… I just did some before and afters. She was VERY badly stained but so far she’s had a lot of improvement in a short time. I check on her every 2 hours or so, clean her off and reapply the 40v. Keep me posted on how it goes!

This is so late, but I sunfaded Sea Breeze last year and the vibrancy of her neon orange did fade a little bit. She actually faded very quickly though and it was not particularly noticeable.

Munchy turned out to be safe to sunfade! (Used 40 Volume and a combination of UV lights, real sunlight, and my Aerogarden). The Aerogarden had much more dramatic results than the UV box I built!

Don't fade any translucent ponies, i.e. sparkles, divine shines, water cuties.

Gingerbread, Starshine, and Quackers is a definite no. Unsure of Baby Quackers?

What happened to your Starshine? Mine has pony cancer and bad discoloration and others have suggested using the salon cream and light box. Currently I'm working on restoring her body shape as she warped badly after decades in an attic.

What type of light does your aerogarden have? I have some grow lights for when I start my garden seedlings. How long did you put your pony under the lights? Also in the pictures what did you use to cover Munchies' eyes and symbols? Is it masking tape?

I used masking tape at first, but it started getting gooey and I got nervous so I removed it and just covered her whole body in foil except for the specific area I wanted to continue fading. The Aerogarden has a grow light, I don't know much about those but it sure grows plants pretty fast! I just left her in there with the seedlings and reapplied salon 40 cream every morning.

Thank you! I found out other people use grow lights & their mini-greenhouses too.

I just got done sunfading my Streaky. I would say do it with caution. Mine didn’t burn or anything but the lavender did become a bit pale. For me I was still thrilled with the final results.

WITH CAUTION
…
Ponies with neon hair and neon bodies (such as Sugarberry/Strawberry Fair and Seabreeze) as these colors fade rapidly

Is this meaning Tropical Seabreeze (neon orange body)? Only asking because of the sea pony of the same name!

Yes, tropical Seabreeze!

Yes, tropical Seabreeze!

Thank you! I found out the hard way that neon orange is….. not a great candidate, haha. *eyeballs the crazy-looking Half Note sitting on my porch with differently faded head and body*
